My Life in Vogue: Spring Shopping with April Lee of the Dia Art Foundation

In our exclusive video series, My Life in Vogue, we look at the lives of six remarkable women, including April Lee, the manager of education for the Dia Art Foundation and resident of upstate New York. With spring nearly (hopefully) upon us, we asked her what ten buys were on her list for the new season. “I don’t stick to a particular style. I like clothes to function as a connective layer to my environment,” Lee says. “That said, I do like to be comfortable and I prefer quality over quantity. I hold onto key pieces forever and I am most attracted to works and goods created by people I love.” And what about turning over her beauty routine once the harsh winter is behind us? “In terms of beauty, I only apply things I could actually eat to my face and body,” she says. “Overall, I want to continue moving in the direction of making socially and ethically conscious decisions about my clothing and adornments.”
